request that you send the Grace Proclamator and Promulgator
to ____________ who is a retired Baptist Pastor who preaches the
Doctrines of Grace and the church . . . . I loaned him my copies

you again for your paper and your stand for the truth and against
error.

ALASKA: Went to your home page the
other dayin fact, went a couple of times. It really looks
nice. You have some GREAT articles. You've done a great job
putting it together. I would like to do one but haven't had the
time just yet, nor do I have the tools. If you have suggestions,
I would appreciate them.

TEXAS: Enjoyed your web site.
Someone has done a wonderful work. So much to see, I've not seen
it all yet. I wanted to ask you how I might obtain the
capabilities to hear the music play you mentioned on the web
page. I have a 200mmx compaq computer with windows 95,if that
info helps any. Was glad to see I can read the last issues of
paper on this site. We don't always have them available at our
church.

Thanks again for your time and help

ILLINOIS: Does not God also hate
division? Even though we should run from evil, don't we have a
responsibility to those who do not know Jesus Christ as their
Personal Savior (Grace)? It seems to me that the only people who
are worthy of God, according to you, are those who are Southern
Baptist.

I disagree. We have one great commission in
life and that is to go out and tell others about Jesus as Jesus
told Paul to do. Did not Jesus reach out to the lost regardless
of their background and current religious belief? I think that
you are turning people away from God. Jesus wants you and others
like you to reach out to people and show them the way. Granted,
we need to stay on guard at all times by wearing His armor, but
we also need to love others no matter how they may treat us.
Rather than bashing Promise Keepers, why don't you confront them,
brother to brother about their ways (according to you). That
would be the Christian thing to do. Why not speak to James
Dobson, Bill McCartney, Robert Hicks, and others to explain where
you are coming from rather than hiding behind these pages. There
is no doubt in my mind that God would want you to challenge them.

I truly Love you brother and hope that
there could be some kind resolve in this matter. I also admire
you for speaking out on how you feel and how you believe God is
speaking, but I cannot agree with you.

Bro. Jud writes, As we did last year, we
intend to collect a special offering to help support Brother
Wayne Camps ministry through The Grace
Proclamator and Promulgator.

I would fain add here a word of warning
against one of the saddest delusions of our time, for a multitude
of souls are being led away by it, and in some cases it is
deceiving the very elect. I mean THE POPULAR BLIND TERROR OF
CONTROVERSY SO RIFE IN THE PRESENT DAY. Let us beware that we
suffer not indolence and cowardice to shelter themselves under
the insulted name of charity. We are bidden to strive together
for the truth of the Gospel and earnestly to contend for the
faith (in both places the Greek word means to wrestle); words
which presuppose an antagonist and a controversy. Satan hates
controversy. We are often told that controversy is contrary to
the Gospel precepts of love to our enemies. What says the Apostle
to whom to live was Christon whom came daily the care of
all the churcheswho tells us concerning faith, hope and
charity that "the greatest of these is charity"? He
says, "Though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other
Gospel...let him be accursed!" Of false brethren he said,
"To whom we gave place by subjection; no, not for an hour;
that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you." Ten
minutes of friendly contact with the world will do more to injure
spirituality than ten years of controversy conducted in a
Christian spirit--not fighting for victory but for truth, not for
ourselves

but for Christ. We believe controversy may
take the place of spirituality in some men, but it never can
injure it; and, further, in the present conditions, everyone
should "contend earnestly for the faith."

DIARY OF A BIBLE

January: A busy time for me. Most of
the family decided to read me through this year. They kept me
busy for the first two weeks. I'm now forgotten.

February: My owner used me for a few
minutes last week. He had an argument and was checking
references.

April: I had a busy day. My owner was
appointed a leader of something and used me. I got to go to
church the first time this year...Easter Sunday

May: I have a few grass stains on my
pages. Had some early spring flowers pressed in me.

June: I look like a scrap book. They
have stuffed me full of clippings. One of the girls got
married.

July: They put me in a suitcase today.
I guess we're off on a vacation. I wish I could stay at home,
as I will have to stay in this thing for a month.

August: Still in the suitcase.

September: Back home again, and in my
old place. I have lots of company. Two "True Stories
"and four "Funny Books" are on top of me. I
wish I could be read as much as they are.

October: They used me a little today.
One of them is sick. Right now I'm all shined up and in the
center of the table...I think the preacher is coming.

November: Back in my old place.

December: They are getting ready for
Christmas. I'll be covered under wrapping papers and
packages.

Luther Writes To
His Wife

"Dear Kate  We arrived here, at
Halle, about 8 o'clock, but have not ventured to go Eisleben, for
we have been stopped by a great Anabaptist (I mean a flood) which
has covered the road here, and has not threatened us with mere
'sprinkling,' but with 'immersion,' against our will,
however. You may comfort yourself by being assured that we are
not drinking water, but have plenty of good beer and Rhenish
wine, with which we cheer ourselves in spite of the overflowing
river." Halle, January 25, 1546 (Quoted by John T.
Christian, History of the Baptists, Vol. 1: 109).
